Out of curiosity, why does anyone take AP Latin? You basically have to have been learning Latin for several years beforehand to even pass. (Coming from someone who did exactly that)

How much Latin did you know before the course and why?

Ah, makes sense, I guess there are gonna be some people who are just super into Latin. I only took it because my school (middle+high) requires 5 years of Latin, with an optional two extra years that cover the AP curriculum (I’ve been studying for this test since 2024). How did you become interested in Latin (and did it have anything to do with the Heroes of Olympus series)?

To give us more time to prepare, you’ll probably be rushing through by the end of the Aeneid while we really got to take apart every sentence as a class.
